4I - Ingleton

We explored the Mayan Empire and compared it with British history. As the Maya discovered cacao beans, we carried out chocolate related activities and practised our culinary skills by creating a Mayan Feast. Our science focus was changing state. Our English was linked to Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. We had so much fun.

Autumn Term 2017

Our first topic during the Autumn term is: Who were the Romans? We will cover the Roman invasion of England and learn about the rebellion of Queen Boudicca. We will also consider what the Romans did for us and their importance in shaping England as we know it today.
